The therapeutic value of arthroscopic microfracture technique in combination with platelet-rich plasma injection for knee cartilage injury.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection combined with arthroscopic microfracture technique for knee cartilage injury.
methodsSeventy-nine patients with knee cartilage injury were randomly divided into a control group (CG, n=39) and an observation group (OBG, n=40). Both of the groups were treated with the arthroscopic microfracture technique, and the OBG was additionally treated with PRP injection.
resultsThe VAS scores for pain in the affected area of the OBG were lower than those of the CG at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days after surgery (
conclusionThe efficacy of microfracture technique combined with PRP injection in the treatment of knee joint cartilage injury is significantly improved compared with that of microfracture technique alone, which can reduce postoperative complications and improve the range of motion and function of the knee joint.
